Okay, so my 2 week break from blogging turned into 4 weeks... Oh well, it was worth it. Vegas was fabulous. Chris & Stephen's wedding was a total blast.

And I promise to never stop hating the distance.

Oh, and if anybody cares, there's literally over a thousand pictures up on my flickr account right now, with a couple hundred more still to come.
